Trump and GOP talk truce as party faces facts

WASHINGTON — After months of mistrust, attacks and threats, Donald Trump and establishment Republicans are talking about a possible peace pact.

Trump campaign manager Corey Lewandowski said Wednesday The Donald and his team have been in discussions with “very influential Republicans” at “the highest levels” about ending hostilities.

He didn’t dispute that the talks involve House Speaker Paul Ryan.

“There are a lot of discussions with people in the establishment about helping the campaign,” Lewandowski told The Post.

“There are a number of very influential Republicans who have reached out to Mr. Trump to provide advice and counsel — very prominent. At the highest levels.”

The billionaire real estate mogul took seven states on Super Tuesday and holds a 319-226 delegate advantage over his nearest competitor, Texas Sen. Ted Cruz.

But establishment leaders, including Ryan, have condemned Trump for his proposal to ban Muslims from entering the United States and his fumbled response to disavowing support from former KKK leader David Duke.

I think he enjoys making an ass of himself. No disrespect to actual asses though. So, one question. Which gopE can’t-i-date has a CCW?

The GOPe has slapped the glove across the face of its voters and thrown the gauntlet on the ground. Cruz voters should be livid too because they don’t want Cruz either. Regardless of votes or ability.
Little Marco can’t win anything. Yet, the GOPe would rather hand the election to Hillary by chaos than let the voters decide.

This is a turning point for American government. And a scary one too. An earthquake may be coming.

This election is a choice between the Ruling Class and We The People.

Okay, Donald, play along as long as you must, but at the earliest convenience RINO Ryan and McConnell have got to be fired. They have demonstrated their treachery, and, co-operate though they may when it suits their objective (viz. hanging onto their own power), it will surface again. Kick 'em out as soon as you can.

That goes for the rest of the RINOs as well.

Cleaning out the Augean Stables includes kicking out the RINOs.

It’s no wonder that little Marco has been sweating profusely like a woman of ill repute sitting in a church.

When Trump was asked if Ryan didn’t help Trump if he is elected Trump said, “then he will have to pay the price”......

Yes, Mitt will be speaking tonight, like a fool, if we are to believe what we are hearing. But if this story is true its a good thing. “Success has many fathers, failure is an orphan” - Almost Churchill

Donald Trump and establishment Republicans are talking about a possible peace pact.

Then why is the GOPe sending Mittons out there to make a fool of himself? Once again, the GOPe cannot be trusted.

I will energetically vote for either Trump or Cruz - I will boycott GOPe candidates on the lower ballot.

When he wins, he will know where all the bodies are buried and he won’t just prosecute Hillary.
There are dirty deeds starting from Bush I. He was the head of the CIA.

I actually believe that far too many of these so called politicians are so "completely out of touch" and so insulated from the realities of life that they do NOT have a clue as to WHAT the public FEELS and BELIEVES.

My POINT: They are so caught up in their own SELF-IMPORTANCE that they have little time with CONCERN for OTHERS.

That sums it up nicely. We The People are going to see the wrath of The Ruling Class. It’s going to get very ugly. Power is not surrendered easily.
